Habla Women
A film by Alberto Fererras
USA, Comedy/Drama/Documentary, 2013
58 min, HD, Color
English, Spanish with English subtitles
This film was screened as a part of the 2014 Cine Las Americas International Film Festival (CLAIFF17)
In this 10th installment of the award-winning series of specials, HBO Latino talks with a broad spectrum of Latinas, from a newspaper CEO and publisher to an Olympic boxing medalist, from a nanny to a news producer who is sometimes mistaken for her daughter’s nanny, from a victim of domestic violence to an advocate for victims of domestic violence, from a NASA scientist to an internationally known plus-sized model. HABLA WOMEN is not just a chance to stand up and be heard, but an opportunity to bridge cultural gaps. Alternately poignant and funny, HABLA WOMEN is a straightforward, no holds-barred perspective on the Latina experience. This film marks director Alberto Ferraras’ return to Cine Las Americas after a successful screening of an earlier installment of this series, HABLA TEXAS, in 2011.
